Chair&#39;s backrest folding screen device

ABSTRACT

This invention provides a chair&#39;s backrest folding screen device to be primarily installed in a chair&#39;s backrest, once installed, the user can deploy the unit to a full size geometrical figure screen background behind the back rest. When the user is seated, and in front of a camera, the captured image frame is of the user and the background screen blocking any other image the camera may capture without the use of the device. The unit also provides visual privacy by partially blocking the view from behind the chair&#39;s backrest and also provides auditive privacy in a shared space by absorbing the ambient noise.

FIELD

Background screens

BACKGROUND

As videoconferencing gets popular and affordable, office space scarce,and more people are working from home or public places, there's a needfor privacy and to show to the person on the other side of thevideoconferencing a better image relating your working environment.

Videoconferencing uses a type of camera attached or integrated to adevice such as a computer, tablet or smart phone. The camera is mostlyaimed towards the face or upper body of the person whom may be seated.The camera catches both the person and the background, sometimes thecamera may be focused to catch the face of the person and the backgroundmay be blurry. Sometimes the camera's focus may be universal and isfocused to anything within it's frame of view.

Sometime users of videoconferencing work in cubicles where the webcamsused in the videoconferencing capture the background which sometimes mayshow confidential information or may be an image the user does not wantto show to the person in the other side of the video conference.

Some companies have created specific rooms and cubicles forvideoconferencing to avoid these issues. Sometimes, people working fromhome try to arrange their webcam positioning to show the best “angle”within the area they are in, like their kitchen for example.

Some people use standup screen for privacy and to show a best image ofthemselves and their work environment, some may even use their bedblankets as back screens.

My Invention relates to a Chair's backrest folding screen device. Thedevise's chair cover style makes the installation in most types ofchairs easy and the background screen on one side provides privacy tothe user and on the other side a blank or a printed image to show to theperson on the other side of the videoconference a printed or coloredbackground. The unit also works as a sound absorber.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

A Chair Cover with folding background Screen generally identified byreference numeral (10) will now be described with reference to FIG. 1through 8.

Structure and Relationship of Parts:

Referring to FIG. 1, there is illustrated a Chair's backrest foldingscreen device generally referenced by numeral (10) that supports on theback a foldable screen (18) made of a sheet of flexible material whichdeploys by memory wire (14) into a predetermined shape. Such Chair'sbackrest folding screen device (10) has at least one strap (16) thatstraps the chair cover to the chair (12).

Referring to FIG. 2, there is an illustrated front perspective of theChair's backrest folding screen device.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the Chair's backrest folding screen device(10) attaches to the chair's backrest (12) and the straps (16) hold bothof them together by strapping them to the chair (12).

Operation

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4 there is an illustrated method on how toinstall the Chair's backrest folding screen device (10) to the chair'sbackrest (12) by strapping the straps (16) to the chair (12) structureand securing it tight.

Referring to FIG. 5, chair cover with folding background screen (10) isfully deployed by the expanding force of the memory spring wires in ovalshape (22) attached to the sheet of flexible material (20) for supportand to act as a surface for a printed image or text.

Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, Chair's backrest folding screen device (10)fully deployed shows the front side (24) printed on the sheet offlexible material (20) and in FIG. 7 it shows the back side of thedeployed background screen (26) printed on the back face of the sheet offlexible material (20) when the chair cover with folding backgroundscreen (10) is attached to the chair (12)

Referring to FIG. 8, deployed background screen from the chair coverwith folding screen (10) folds from the inside out from the cornersposition (30) until completely folded behind the chair cover (10)attached to the chair (12)
